A mild drama played out last Friday in
Onitsha Magistrate Court 3 when three monkeys and its owners, Mohammed
Garuba, 22, Dauda Usman, 25 and Nurah Mohammed, 22 were arraigned on a
two-count charge of conspiracy and robbery.
Court proceedings were momentarily halted as the courtroom was thrown into confusion and uncontrollable laughter when the case was mentioned and the giant monkeys and their handlers were docked.
The three men and their monkeys were alleged to have robbed a senior police officer (names withheld) attached to Zone 6 Calabar, who was on transit. According to the prosecutor, the police officer was traveling when he ran short of cash and went to one of the banks in Onitsha to make some withdrawals.
